The latest Friday weekly build of Opera 10 now includes Opera Turbo. Could this mean that they are going to ship Final version with it already integrated?

The following build also includes “automatic” setting for Opera Turbo (which will enable Opera Turbo if your network is slow), improved performance, new spelling checker (with hunspell library (same as Firefox)) and more.

Although Firefox 3.5 Final has not been released yet, Mozilla already looking forward to cook Firefox 3.6 (codename Namaroka).

Some of the prioritized features were already revealed; they include: performance improvements for startup and new tabs opening times, responsiveness, also, one of the *must have* features: light themes and extensions activation without requiring to restart Firefox!
